Not the best experience - mattress does not match claims on the website and Trustpilot rating are inconsistent
Hi
I bought a Silentnight mattress from Mattressesonline, the Silentnight Sofia 1200 Mirapocket Mattress, Double for £379.95. It arrived on Tuesday and 2-3 days later, I was not that happy with it and I rang Mattressesonline customer services. I was told I can not return the mattress as I was supposed to test it with the plastic on. I had not been told about this and said so. I discussed my other concerns that the awards posted on their website about the mattress seemed to be for a different mattress to the one delivered. The credentials were Which Best Buy May 2018 and Good Housekeeping Getting Greener. I was assured that the award claims were correct. I checked further on the Silentnight website and the claims seem to be attributed to a different mattress, the Silentnight Eco Comfort Pocket 1200 Mattress Double, £391.20 plus delivery. The tags on the mattress delivered to my home also said something different, ie Which Best Buy 2017 and nothing about the Good Housekeeping award so I am unconvinced that the Mattressesonline website is correct.
Overall, I would not recommend this website as there are too many inconsistencies with labelling and it is not made clear that one is not allowed to return a mattress unless the plastic packaging is not removed.
I am unimpressed so far and wished I had bought my mattress on the Silentnight website. The reason I didn't was because the Trustpilot rating on the MattressesOnline was 9.4. After my phone call to MattressesOnline customer services, I checked this and found that it is 6.6 on the Trustpilot website and it seems to have been increased on MattressesOnline website from 6.6 to 9.4.
I am not at all sure of what to do next. I was under the impression that one had a cooling off period of a couple of weeks if a purchase is made online, and I am still within that however it looks like I am stuck with this mattress until I buy another one in 7-8 years. Not the best experience.
I have contacted Trustpilot about the ratings inconsistency.
